Family Wake Up Rules

06/22/2010

My family has some strange rules. It is my mom’s orders that whoever wakes up first gets to do the chores we wanted, and who gets up late ends up with the chore everybody detests. I always ended up lawn mowing while my brother does dishwashing! So here’s my punishment.

One morning, while mowing the grasses, I noticed some bugs crawling across our yard. I called my mom and she said I was just making stories. I could’ve gotten into a However since I stayed up late most of the Friday nights I always wake the latest. So here’s my punishment.

One morning, while mowing the grasses, I noticed some bugs crawling across our yard. I called my mom and she said I was just making stories. I could’ve gotten into a heavy sermon when she saw the bugs too! She had me call lawn care service Tampa to treat our lawns and keep these bug away lest they enter our home.

I was freed that morning! The pest control had the lawn for them the whole day, eliminating the bugs, while I was free of chores! Too bad, it lasted only for a day. Wouldn’t want bugs to enter my territory again, but it’s a good feeling to be relieved of duty sometimes too!!!

Rad Paint Job

06/21/2010

I own a Chevy Camaro convertible and it wasn’t easy getting this baby. I had to save up from 1st year college until graduation to get this car. I was able to buy this from a friend who was just keeping it in his garage. When I laid eyes on it, I knew I had to get it. With a little fix up here and there and an awesome paint job, I knew that I could make it shine.

I was finding a good paint shop in Tampa and luckily I found this company. They had awesome layouts and different colors that could fit my car. I was so excited that I contacted them right away! Good thing they were super accommodating, they also knew what I was talking about when I told them what style I liked. They told me to leave the car in their shop and I’ll have to wait for 2 weeks. Not bad, I thought. I was just totally excited.

After the 2 weeks, I couldn’t wait to see my baby once again. When I entered the room and saw the shiny candy red convertible, my heart skipped a beat. My car was totally awesome! It had the style I wanted, with the flames on the side. This paint shop Tampa made my car from drab to fab! Hands down to this group! Cool work!

Supporting the Family

06/17/2010

My mom used to sell scrap jewelry to make ends meet. Being a single mom is obviously full of hardship and responsibilities. I do my best to help, by looking for part time jobs while studying for college. We manage to get by from time to time, it is hard but we’re not complaining too much. My mom sell old jewelry only as a last resort. She sells it to a particular store that gives better prices for her jewelries. She doesn’t sell them on pawnshops, for the reason that they do not give it a proper appraisal price. She use the money for food, clothing and for my fees at college.

All that I can do for now is excel on my studies and land a proper job after I graduate. It will be my turn to support my mom, she had sacrificed too much already and I’m not going to waste it. I still have to take care of my little sister as well. She’s still five years old and content on following my mom wherever she goes. Everything happens for a reason, I’m just glad that were not experiencing any problems lately. My mom is thinking of selling one of her diamond rings, so that she could open a small business to help our family with our financial needs. I don’t know why, but I’m sure that she’ll be successful with her choice. Call it a kid’s intuition; yeah we have that one too.

Waveguide Warehouse

06/15/2010

The recession has indeed done so much to this country. It did not only affect the country’s economy but most importantly every individual who are a part of this nation. It is supposed to be a country of power, of dreams and of milk and honey. But it is a power that is of no match to all the pulling factors to finance. As I said, many have been affected and that includes me. I have been in my dream job for years. It has been my life and never did I ever imagine that I would be pulled out just because the company needs cost cutting and they have to make a few sacrifices. I did not know that they have to sacrifice even the most resourceful people in the company.

It was a hard blow on me. I had to live on unemployment for a year. Finally, I found a new job. I get to be an operations manager. It sounds very good yeah but not that fabulous when you know it is a warehouse for waveguides. Apart from having to work with men. I also have to learn about rectangular waveguide components which are definitely out of my vocabulary. I was a whole lot of change for me. But, this is surely a lot better than no job at all.

Transferring Cargo from Ships with a Boom Truck

06/14/2010

My friend Annie, and me, started out our importing store this year. We have been exporting a lot of materials from overseas that could not be seen here in the states. Many people have become valuable customers and have patronized us ever since. Our business proved successful and we have decided to expand our mini store into a mall so that it could cater more needs and products to our customers here. When our new cargo arrived, we were overwhelmed with the number so that we needed a heavy truck to move in the products for us. We called a crane rental Greenville, so that it could send a truck nearest to us and so we can transfer the goods with ease.

We got our products to our mall, and we were pleased! We also had their help in putting the stocks in order within our warehouse. Today, we were able to expand, and we use the same crane rental company for our overhauling purposes. We call this crane rental in Hickory whenever we need our cargos to be transferred to our mall there. If you’re asking, yes, they’re of the same company but of different locations! Isn’t it pleasing to have trusted truck rentals at your service, available at many locations in the states? It the company we trust and we enjoyed benefiting from their professional service!

Using Refurbished Equipment as an Alternative

06/10/2010

A friend of mine was recently hired to plan and implement the computer network of a firm that is opening a branch in the city.  Since he’s been doing that for quite some time, he already knows that setting up is going to create quite a dent in the budget of the firm.  He informs the owner about this upfront so that he would be able to get the budget set for the purchase of the equipment and work around that.  Also so that he could tell the owner if the budget is more than enough or too little so that they could also adjust.

He would usually implement an IBM SAN solution for offices for it is efficient especially when most of the work required data to be encoded and processed.  But he knows that it usually costs a lot and most of his clients would ask him for an alternative.

He then would bring up the idea of buying used IBM Storage equipment to be able to meet the budget allocated for the project.  He buys it from this supplier that he has been working with for a long time and he has gotten good results from it. I’m sure that his new client will again be satisfied with the service and new setup.

Latest Innovation

06/09/2010

My mom stumbled about a certain Medical Archive when she was surfing the internet. She then asked me if I know anything about it. I answered no, out of curiosity I did some research for myself. I found out that you could store your medical images in the internet by getting yourself a Vendor Neutral Archive. I then asked myself, when was the last time I visited my health physician? I browsed their site and learned a few things about their customer support and medical help services. I then asked my mom if she would like to get one for both of us.

She agreed and we got our application. We got tested and our medical images and information was stored into their database (or server). We tried to call their customer support and we were rewarded by a competent operator on the line. We then discussed about the possible solutions to our health problems. With our files accessed and reviewed she offered us suggestions on the things that we should do. Also if in doubt, we could also retrieve our records and show them to a doctor. I’m glad that we tried their services, not only are they convenient they are pretty reliable as well.

Wireless Necessity

06/08/2010

I couldn’t take it anymore! I got so sick and tired of how we connect to the internet. We had wires connected everywhere that I got confused already where to place them! My friend had pushed me to just go wireless once and for all. So my friend and I went to the computer hardware section of the mall in search of that perfect wireless connection.

We finally stopped in this store that was selling Used Cisco Hardware. They have all the stuff that I need. I asked first how the things differ from each other and the employee was glad to explain it to us. I was happy on how he explained things so simply. I was able to understand it perfectly without any complications. The last thing I need is studying new techie terms that are unnecessary. This Used Cisco Networking group is indeed easy to talk to.

After purchasing the things I need, I was able to assemble the equipment with my computer. It was all easy breezy. Now I am enjoying my surfing time without any hassles! I’m really glad I come across this group. They have given me stress free surfing time!

The House of Clean

06/07/2010

My grandmother’s house was built in 1920s. It was a Victorian-style home with a chimney on it. We spent almost half of our lives watching the fire glowing in the hearth. It was truly magical moments for us. Except that the outside, all you can see is the dark molds, unclean gutters and blacken chimney brick.  Seems to me, its begging for someone who can fix it. I remember a man giving fliers to my grandma and it looks like it’s a cleaning company. I searched the company on the internet and prove to be right. I asked grandma if she ever had house washing before. Being an “old grump” she says, she never heard that thing before spoken out of the internet site.

It was very appealing considering this is big help for granny. They even included awning cleaning in the parking area, giving dad and Jim extra time.  You can see how neat and tidy they all worked. They even explained everything they were doing and cleaned up perfectly when the job was done.  Not only does the house look good but they managed to pay attention on associated factors such as job clean up as well as the quality of the job itself. 

I’ve seen a lot of great guys but this team proves to me that they are the best in this business. I thought the service was excellent; the guys that work for us are great. The house looks wonderful & grandma was delighted. Good job guys!
